CHAPTER 5 The Movement: An Overview

According to New Age sources, the New Age Movement is a worldwide network. It consists of tens of thousands of cooperating organizations. Their primary goal or the secret behind their “unity-in-diversity” is the formation of a “New World Order,” The Movement usually operates on the basis of a well-formulated body of underlying esoteric or occult teachings.

Heavily drawing upon all forms of mysticism — Eastern and Western — the Movement could appear to the uninitiated as a loose coalition. However, there is extensive political collusion and agreement among its leadership.

Carefully structured along the lines set forth in the Alice Bailey writings, it includes organizations teaching mind control, holistic health, esoteric philosophy; scientific workers, political workers; and organizations dedicated to peace and world goodwill. It also includes many consumer, environmental and nutritional organizations as well as religious cults of every shade and description.

It has successfully infiltrated nearly every segment of our personal, religious, and professional lives.

The glue binding most New Age devotees is one of common mystical experiences, “Experiential religion” is considered vital within the Movement. A substantial proportion of those within the Movement strongly believe in psychic phenomena and say they do so because of “direct experiences.”

Those among their number who have not participated in the communal tripping of the “Light Fantastic” are encouraged to try meditation, LSD, or any one of the scores of “psychotechnologies” promised to induce “transformation” — a euphemism for progressively deeper levels of demonic influence.

The New Age Movement, called by Marilyn Ferguson The Aquarian Conspiracy, and deriving its name from the socalled Age of Aquarius, encompasses a number of groups and submovements, such as: the Holistic Movement , Humanistic Psychology, Trans personal Psychology, Humanistic Movement, New Thought, Third Wave, Third Force, The New Spirituality, the Human Potential Movement, Secular Humanism, and Humanism.

Contrary to the assertions of New Agers that their conspiracy lacks dogma, there is a discernible body of teachings dominant within the Movement. While many paths may be employed to reach the trance-like state they encourage, once that state is reached, the paths are nearly identical from that point forward. As Alice Bailey said, “[T]he emphasis in all esoteric schools is necessarily, and rightly, laid upon meditation.” 1

Besides the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey, the bulk of New Age doctrine is derived from the works of George Gurdjieff, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, P.D. Ouspensky, H.G. Wells, Nicholas Roerich, (the Agni Yoga teachings), and David Spangler. The esoteric thrusts of the Movement as well as the aims of its groups are largely derived from the Alice Bailey books. Its overall direction and tactical strategy may be Found in The Open Conspiracy: Blueprints for a World Revolution by H.G. Wells. The “New Revelation” of the Movement has come forth in the prolific prose and poetry of Spangler.

Marilyn Ferguson’6 The Aquarian Conspiracy, an important New Age manifesto, attempts to announce and popularize what the New Agers chose to publicly display in their Movement. Heavily extolling the joys of “altered states of consciousness,” her book contains more euphemisms than facts when it comes to describing the promised land of the New Age.

Millions of human beings are actively involved with the

■From The Externalisation of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Publishing Company, New York City (originally incorporated as the Lucifer Publishing Company), quoting from page 17.

New Age Movement in all its phases and levels of activity. The hierarchy of the Movement has successfully managed to draw from a full spectrum of society to implement eventual aims that can only benefit a small percentage — if anyone at all. Millions have been deceived into supporting projects designed to eventually strip even themselves of their civil liberties, much of their property, their preferred religion, and perhaps even their lives.

While euphemistically professing peace and love, the Movement has blinded even many of its sincere adherents from seeing its plain declarations for what they actually are. In trance-like rapture they openly cheer while “Aryanism,” “the out-worn Jewish dispensation,” “mass planetary initiation,” “cleansing action” are sold to them as desirable positions and programs. While these same individuals would rightfully picket to prevent a Nazi demonstration, they fail to see that point-for-point the program of the New Age Movement has complete identity with the programs of Hitler.

Supporters of anti-hunger programs are urged to back measures for abortion, artificial insemination, forced limitation of family size, genetic control, and even death control.

Disarmament is a major component of the New Age Movement. Most of the rank and file supporters of this measure are sincere. However, I am sure most of them would lose their enthusiasm if they became aware of the scheme in its entirety. For the very same books that lay out the freeze campaign as a necessary step towards implementing a planetary government and a New World Order also state that the bombs will be used to keep religious groups in line once out of the hands of individual nation states. 2

While professing to decry the abuses of Hitler, at least one important leader of the Movement has not-so-subtly informed New Age disciples that Hitler was one of their own and a disciple at that. 3

‘See The Externalisation of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey. You will find the freeze campaign outlined as step no. 9 towards implementing the “New World Order.” This is found on page 190-191. Turn to page 548 and you will see an exfoliation of the atomic bomb as something developed by the occult “Hierarchy” and the plans for use or threatened use on obstinate religious groups who will not relinquish their right to speak out on political/social issues.

While professing to support equality, the Movement’s seminal writings openly call for the triumph of Aryanism and the domination of Caucasians over other “root races.” The New Age is, according to the “Tibetan Master,” an age of Occidental racial triumph. 4 We are all to be considered equal in the New Age to be sure — but at varying stages of evolutionary development! 5

While professing support for religious liberty in their public releases, the Alice Bailey books which are meticulously followed within the Movement call for complete abridgement of this freedom. They openly and boldly set forth plans for a new mandatory world religion — a religion completely breaking with the concept of Jesus as the Christ and God as the Father. Jews and Christians — Roman Catholic and Protestant alike — as well as uncooperative Moslems are openly slated for persecution and even a “cleansing action” should they fail to cooperate. 6

3 See Running Cod’s Plan by Foster Bailey, pp. 14-15. This book is published by Lucis Trust. Foster Bailey was an attorney, a former officer of the American Theosophical Society under the international direction of Annie Besant, and most importantly, die husband of Alice A. Bailey. The Baileys broke with the Theosophical Society after Alice became the subject of transmissions by the “masters.” They formed Lucis Trust, which is the single most important organization within the Movement, as the custodian of the Alice Bailey writings. While Bailey does not mention Hitler directly in this particular passage, nevertheless, one hardly needs a Ph.D. in history to sort out his statements that a previous attempt had been made to unify Europe “by uniting the peoples living in the Rhine River valley using that river as a binding factor. It was an attempt by a disciple but did not work. Now another attempt is in full swing. . . .” This particular paragraph was penned by Foster Bailey in 1972. Foster Bailey died in 1977 and the work at Lucis Trust has continued under the direction of Mary Bailey, Foster Bailey’s widow. After the death of Alice Bailey in 1949, Foster Bailey eventually married Mary Bailey, another staunch female esotericist.

4 See Initiation, Human and Solar by Alice Bailey (transmitted “telepathically” by the “Tibetan Master”), page 182. According to this, the “New Age” is to be an age when “[Ajbove all . . . which brings opportunity to the occidental races, and through the medium of this life force of executive organization, of government by rule and order, by rhythm and by ritual, will come the time wherein the occidental races — with their active, concrete mind, and their vast business capacity — can take initiation.”

s See The Extemalisation of the Hierarchy, page 190 (paragraph no. 4) which states that “The new world order will be founded on the recognition that all men are equal in origin and goal but that all are at differing stages of evolutionary development, ”

In fact, Jews are no better off with the New Agers than they were under their predecessors the Nazis. The New Agers also maintain the traditional occult doctrine of a blood taint resting on those of Jewish extraction. 7

New Age esoteric leaders such as Benjamin Creme have openly attempted to deify Lucifer. 8 At the same time they have subtly demoted Jesus — phasing him out by reducing him to the rank of a relatively low-level “Master of Wisdom.”

Considering that it meets every test of Bible prophecy regarding the coming antichrist as well as every test of Nazism, it is incredible that the Movement has been able to achieve such power and influence. An imminent coup by a New Age cabal is not outside the range of probability.

Organizations as diverse as Amnesty International, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Children of God, and Zero Population Growth openly and proudly bill themselves as “New Age.” So do another approximately 10,000 organizations within just the United States and Canada — not including the branches of these organizations — many of which are located in every major city.’

‘See The Rays and the Initiations by Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Publishing Company, New York, pp. 754-755. This defines the surfacely innocuous line of the “Great Invocation” calling for “sealing the door where evil dwells.” This includes doing away with the religious citadels of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

‘See, for example. The Rays and the Initiations by Alice A. Bailey, pages 705-706, which states that the New “Christ” will not be Jewish as the Jews have forfeited that privilege and must “pass through fires of purification.” These particular passages were written in 1949 when the entire world knew exactly what had happened to Europe’s Jewish population.

“See The Exlernalisation of the Hierarchy, page 107, which states that Lucifer is the ruler of humanity. In a November 9, 1982, radio interview over WLAC, Nashville, Benjamin Creme told the entire Bible belt that Lucifer came to planet earth from planet Venus I8V2 million years ago and made the supreme sacrifice for us. David Spangler in his Reflections on the Christ devotes an entire chapter to “Lucifer, Christ and God.” He states on page 44-45 that the required initiation to enter the New Age is Luciferic. Reflections is published by the Findhorn Foundation. Findhorn may accurately be described as the “Vatican City” of the New Age Movement.

These organizations have achieved “synergy,” thereby maximizing their strength to enormous proportions through a process of networking. This structure is difficult to depict on an ordinary organizational chart. Sociologically described as “Segmented Polycentric Integrated Networks” (SPIN), Marilyn Ferguson says that the “organization chart of a SPIN would look like ‘a badly knotted fishnet with a multitude of nodes of varying sizes, each linked to all the others, directly or indirectly,’ ” 10

And there is no single leader or organization indispensable to the functioning of this New Age “network of networks.”

“Each segment of a SPIN is self-sufficient. You can’t destroy the network by destroying a single leader or some vital organ. The center — the heart — of the network is everywhere. A bureaucracy is as weak as its weakest link. In a network, many persons can take over the function of others. This characteristic is also like the brain’s plasticity, with an overlap of functions so that new regions can take over for damaged cells.

“Just as a bureaucracy is less than the sum of its parts, a network is many times greater than the sum of its parts. This is a source of power never before tapped in history: multiple self-sufficient social movements linked for a whole array of goals whose accomplishment would transform every aspect of contemporary life.” 11

Jim Jones was an excellent case in point. Prior to the Guyana suicide/murder fiasco, the New Agers were most proud to claim him as their own. In fact, they gave his organization the label of a New Age “spiritual” center. 12

‘According to the Spiritual Community Guide §4, 1979, one could order the NAM (New Age Media) International New Consciousness Directory. According to the advertising blurb, “The first edition of this year’s directory features the names and full addresses (only) of approximately 10,000 New Age’organizations with their branches throughout the United States and Canada, and some overseas.” Orders and inquiries for this directory were to be directed to NAM Directory, Box 1080-G, San Rafael, California 94902. That particular edition was sold for $25.00.

‘”Quoting from The Aquarian Conspiracy, page 216. Marilyn Ferguson was in her turn quoting anthropologists Luther Gerlach and Virginia Hine.
“Ibid., pp. 216-217.

Spiritual Community Guide (Handbook for the New Age) listed People’s Temple as a “center” in their 1972 and possibly later editions. According to them, Jones’ role was to “teach Christian socialism in preparation for the New Age.” 13

Of course, once Jones lost his sanity and his favorable public image, the rest of the New Agers never mentioned him again, except to point to him as an example of the dangers of religious fundamentalism. New Age Magazine as well as several other New Age publications, quickly and with real chutzpah, moved to turn a potential public relations disaster into a propaganda victory.

The New Age Movement is different. Because of those differences we tend not to recognize it for the true danger it actually poses. As Marilyn Ferguson euphemistically said in quoting anthropologist Virginia Hine:

” ‘Because SPINs are so qualitatively different in organization and impact from bureaucracies/ Hine said, ‘most people don’t see them — or think they are conspiracies. Often networks take similar action without conferring with each other simply because they share so many assumptions. It might also be said that the shared assumptions are the collusion.’ “”

Networking is not a passing fad; it is the key to success for the Aquarian Conspiracy or the New Age Movement:

“The role of the centers is to anchor “The Plan” on earth. As David Spangler once said, “The value of the New Age centers is that they are developing around people and places relatively uncontaminated by the taught forces, energies, and patterns of the past. Not being a part of the old web of power lines and influence, these new centers are not faced with having to overcome the inertia and ambiguous energies from past patterns. Thus a new world is being bom and shall be born. …” (Quoting from The Magic of Findhorn by Paul Hawken, Bantam Edition, 1976, New York, p. 327.)

“From page 25 of Spiritual Community Guide, copyright © 1972 by “The Spiritual Community,” Box 1080, San Rafael, California 94902.

“The Aquarian Conspiracy, p. 217.

“The Aquarian Conspiracy is, in effect, a SPIN of SPINs, a network of many networks aimed at social transformation. The Aquarian Conspiracy is indeed loose, segmented, evolutionary, redundant. Its center is everywhere. Although many social movements and mutual-help groups are represented in its alliances, its life does not hinge on any of them.” 15

While Marilyn Ferguson and others have protested that the Movement is both leaderless and unstructured, their statements are belied by the abundance of network council organizational charts, matrixes, statements of purpose, and directories — all showing both leadership and structure to an advanced degree.

“Network” as well as “synergy” are magic words for New Agers. By networking they have achieved a synergetic effect that makes them nearly unstoppable. By networking they have indeed achieved a lack of dependency on any one group or leader.

As they continued undaunted by the Jim Jones affair, they probably can and will go on unaffected by anyone else committing a similar faux pas in the eyes of the public. Perhaps they will again even exploit such a similar disaster by publishing books and articles proclaiming that unfortunate experience to be a danger of “religious fundamentalism.”

Frustratingly, most of the participants in these New Age networks are quite innocently involved. Either they do not know the true aims and intents of its leadership or, more often, they are operating under the influence of extremely sophisticated forms of mind control. 16

Classes such as TM, Silva Mind Control, EST, Life springs, Arica and dozens of other such “psychotechnologies” help the trainers induce the desired trance-like state in the would-be initiate.

“Ibid., p. 217.

“Typically, in many New Age sessions, particularly within the New Age cults, participants are taken under progressively deeper levels of hypnosis and not brought back out! One such session witnessed by me personally in Oklahoma City saw the “guru” take his audience under several levels of hypnosis by putting them in a “relaxation’ state. Techniques of clairvoyance were taught while they were under as well as religious/political propaganda. They were never brought back up!

However, many abandon the New Age Movement when tactfully presented with its true facts.

Truly the conspiring spirit behind the New Age Movement, as well as many of its theoreticians, leaders, and occult predecessors, has successfully exploited the principle of “divide and conquer.” They have succeeded in persuading Christian to fight against Christian. While the Christians were preoccupied with each other, their churches were nearly all infiltrated with the New Age philosophies and socialpolitical programs. Judaism was also infiltrated.

The New Age teachings are the same old lies that have been about since the snake beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden: “Thou shalt not surely die . . . and thou shalt be as gods.” Combine that line together with an attack on God’s Word and understand the reason why Lucifer was originally expelled from Paradise and you will perfectly understand the philosophies and goals of the New Age Movement.

The political goal of the Movement is global control. Although this goal has never before been achieved, they think the times are ripe and they may well be right.

“Global communications have encircled our world beyond any possibility of retreat. Now the whole planet is alive with instantaneous links, networks of people poised for communication and cooperation.” 17

And as Marilyn Ferguson further noted, the base has been carefully constructed for many years:

“Cultural transformation announces itself in sputtering fits and starts, sparked here and there by minor incidents, warmed by new ideas that many smoulder for decades. In many different places, at different times, the kindling is laid for the real conflagration — the one that will consume the old landmarks and alter the landscape forever.” 18

“Ibid., p. 35.

While the writings are probably deliberately scattered, nevertheless, there is a discernible political program emanating from the New Agers. They propose to establish gigantic global agencies such as a World Food Authority, World Water Authority, and an authority to administer a universal draft and a universal tax. 19 They have pointed to such legislative proposals as the Peace Academy as proof of their success in advancing towards the New World Order. They intend to gjve us a ‘Universal Credit Card” not to mention a “New World Religion.” 20

The structures New Agers propose are both Orwellian and apocalyptic in their scope, organization, and possibilities. Proposing the dissolution and/or destruction of individual nation states in the interests of peace and conservation, New Age spokesmen openly discuss their replacement with a bioregional parliament and a “Planetary Guidance System.” 21

As already mentioned, its big push is through a vehicle known as Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose. Planetary Initiative’s “World Council of Wise Persons” membership reads like a New Age Who’s Who. 22

”Ibid., p. 37,

“David Spangler spoke in Southfield, Michigan, on February 1, 1982. At that time he told those present that the New World Order would consist of very large global agencies. We would have to manage on a large scale. He said that both the United Nations and the multi-national corporations have been training grounds for the coming globalization.

“See, for example, Buckminster Fuller’s The Critical Path, St. Martin’s Press, copyright © 1981. Computer use and its maliciously planned destructive impact on religion are discussed on pp. xxvii, xxviii, 215, 217, 218.

“See for example Mark Satin’s New Age Politics, chapter 17 “Planetization: Celebration of Unity.” Satin quotes Club of Rome sources, Richard Falk of the Institute for World Order, Donald Keys of Planetary Citizens (also Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose), Barbara Ward and Gerald & Patricia Mische as being in support of such a structure. All are prominent within the New Age Movement.

“Incredible, but true! Norman Cousins is heading the invitor committee, according to Issue #2 of their newspaper, The Initiator. Buckminster Fuller and Dr. Carlos Romulo of the Philippines had accepted as of late winter-early spring, 1982. They plan to hold a simultaneous meeting of the World Council of Wise Persons in tandem with the “culminating global congress” of Planetary Initiative in Toronto. Of course this will take place at the time of “Summer Solstice,” 1983.

While it is all too common for New Agere to ridicule orthodox Christians and particularly fundamentalists as being “fanatical and unsophisticated,” their own beliefs surpass the “bizarre.” They calmly discuss not only Luciferic initiations, but “raising the fires of Kundalini,” chakras, and “Maitreya the Christ.”

They rationalize the concepts of initiation and secret ritual by claiming a need for the “geniuses” among us to have their own private language and code. The Movement has managed to win many of the very cream of our intellectual crop by flatteries. The flattery is the same as that employed by the serpent to Eve — “Thou shalt be as gods.” As the book of Daniel says:

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32, KJV).

In fact, the New Agers claim they are a “new species.” They have “evolved” into homo noeticus. They “evolved” by employing mind-expansion techniques such as meditation and the “other disciplines.” 23

Such talk is chillingly reminiscent of Hitler’s “master race” theories. And it should be for it is identical. Both theories — Nazi and New Age — are based on a fable of “Aryanism,” a belief that out of the mists of Atlantis emerged Aryan man. Other “sub-races” also survived the Atlantis cataclysms; however, the Aryans were the most highly “evolved.”

In agreement with Hitler’s Nazi doctrines, New Agers also believe that superior mutation of Aryan man can only come through “consciousness expansion.” One could smile at such nonsense were it not for the all-too-poignant memories of the masses who worshipped and blindly followed Hitler.

One is also forced to pause when he sees the extensive organizational efforts of determined New Agers. Planetary Initiative and its World Council of Wise Persons are synergistically enhanced by the parallel operation of networking organizations such as New World Alliance, Club of Rome, World Goodwill, Lucis Trust, and thousands of others.

“This surprising statement is taken from John White’s introduction to the 1979 International Cooperation Council Directory, Presently known as the Unity-in-Diversity Council and under the direction of Leland Steward, it is actively and openly on the “Maitreyan path.”

New Age communication employs a specialized vocabulary extensive enough to require a separate New Age Dictionary which helps worldwide New Agers speak each other’s language. 24

The Movement teaches the Law of Rebirth or reincarnation This is basically a teaching that man does not really die, but that he instead is endlessly reborn into new life cycles until such time as he perfects himself sufficiently to qualify for endless rest (Nirvana). Of course, this just happens to match one of the lies of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in telling Eve “you shall not surely die.”

The Movement teaches that the Trinity is inferior to an entity known as “The Solar Logos.” In fact, the Alice Bailey writings contain in at least two places elaborate organization charts of the “gods” and “masters.” The “Solar Logos” is just a notch above the Trinity — a false trinity that does not match our Holy Trinity in that instead of being a personal godhead there is a “Solar Trinity or Logoi” consisting of:

I The Father Will
II The Son Love-wisdom
III Holy Spirit Active Intelligence

After the Solar Trinity come the “Seven Rays” and below that, but deriving “authority” directly from “The Solar Logos” is “S. Sanat Kumara (a scrambling of Satan).” According to Benjamin Creme, David Spangler, the Alice Bailey writings, and the Helena Petrovna Blavatsky writings, this so-called Sanat Kumara is our “God,” the “Ancient of Days” and the “One Initiator.” Probably, more truthfully, the “Venus” link of occultism gives us a better clue as to who Sanat Kumara really is. For “Sanat Kumara” is allegedly “the eternal youth from the Planet Venus.” Lucifer is also known in occultdom as “Venus.” Therefore, Sanat Kumara is merely another name for Satan or Lucifer.

“Yes Virginia, there really is a New Age Dictionary! The New Age Dictionary was compiled by Alex Jack, the Associate Editor of East West Journal, another prominent New Age magazine. It is published by Kanthaka Press of Brookline Village, Massachusetts, and was copyrighted © in 1976 (“The Year of the Dragon”). It contains thousands of entries in its 224 pages. Needless to say, it is an invaluable reference for those wishing to research the New Age Movement.

The same chart also contains several lower levels of assorted “Kumaras,” “departmental heads,” “Manus,” “Bodhisattvas,” and “Mahachohans,” and beneath them, in their turn, many “masters.”

Guess who is at the bottom of this chart? None other than “The Master Jesus!” They have demoted our Lord and Savior to the lowest possible spot on their “Hierarchy of Masters!” Furthermore, adding insult to injury, he is shown as reporting to an entity known as the “Venetian Master.”

This is clearly the preaching or teaching of “another Jesus” as warned against in II Corinthians 11:3-4, which states:

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted …” (KJV).

The same organizational chart has separate listings for Jesus and the Christ — a distinct mark of the spirit of antichrist:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, KJV).

Another key component to the Movement is a boundless belief in evolution. In fact, it is central to their theology. The Movement teaches that we have all evolved, but some of us have evolved more highly than others — just as some of us “manifest our divinity” more than others.

It is interesting to note that several of the signers of the 1973 Humanist Manifesto are also actively involved in Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose — the big, invogue political vehicle for the would-be forces of “Maitreya the Christ.”

These esoteric teachings, founded on a base of Eastern mysticism, include a belief in the “Law of Avatars.” This teaching states that at the start of every New Age the “Solar Logos” sends “The Christ” or a lesser avatar to overshadow a human being, and working through that person, imparts necessary teachings to the world to help its citizens move forward into the New Age.

When Benjamin Creme, spokesman for the so-called Maitreya the Christ spoke in Detroit on November 4, 1981, he was asked if he had ever met the Christ.

His answer was revealing. He said, “No, I’ve never met the Christ, but I’ve met the human body he is inhabiting several times — but never as the Christ.”

This reveals the real nature of the antichrist and the power behind the New Age Movement in general. It constitutes nothing less than old-fashioned demonic possession. The person who will eventually be the antichrist and consequently the chief spokesman for Satan will be an adult who freely and voluntarily decided to assume the spirit of Satan.

The Movement teaches that man is saved by initiation and works rather than through the grace of God and faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Initiation is considered by them to be the heart and core of the planned New World Religion.

This initiation has been clearly defined as “Luciferic” in the Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Alice Ann Bailey, and David Spangler writings. Sadly, the New Age Movement has infiltrated even many of our Christian denominations with this pagan concept.

Another key teaching of this Movement is that all things are “interconnected” or “interdependent.” This is known in the New Age Movement as the Doctrine of Wholeness. This is also called the Doctrine of At-One-Ment, which is a probable perversion of the Christian doctrine of atonement. Its relationship to the Holistic Movement is clear.

The New Age Movement’s deep and abiding hatred for Jews, Catholics, Protestant fundamentalists, and orthodox Moslems in particular, and all Christians in general has been reaffirmed in the numerous David Spangler writings and tapes as well as those of other current New Age leaders.

Further, the Movement’s theology contains a strong belief in an “inner government” of our planet by a hierarchy of spirits or alleged “masters of wisdom.”

One has only to read The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft, The Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michel Angebert, Hitler, the Occult Messiah by Gerald Suster, and Gods and Beasts, the Nazis and the Occult by Dusty Sklar to quickly come to the horrible realization that the basic doctrines of the New Age Movement were also the teachings that formed the ethos of Nazism.

The danger to Jews, Christians, and even orthodox Moslems from this New Age Movement should not be underestimated. The Movement is working quickly and efficiently to execute its scheme to take control of the world for “Maitreya,” not so-subtly, calling it “The Plan.”

If “The Plan” proceeds on schedule, they may well be in the driver’s seat by June 21, 1983, the date of their planned World Congress to be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Much of the leadership behind this Initiative has already taken public stands in favor of “Maitreya the Christ.”

They have made flat statements in writing that they plan to outlaw the present religious practices and symbols of orthodox Jews and Christians.

They claim that master “messiahs” will appear to adherents of all the present major world religions to persuade them of the “truths” of the New World Religion and its “New Relevation.” In fact, “continuity of revelation” is to be a key doctrinal note of the “New World Religion.”

They have also stated that angels will appear with “Maitreya” at the time of his declaration and attempted implementation of the New World Religion.

Christians should not be deceived should such an occurrence take place, for the Bible clearly warns us that Satan is able to appear as an angel of light and has the power to make his lesser agents and ministers appear likewise in the same light.

The Movement has threatened violence and even extermination of Jews, Christians, and Moslems failing to cooperate with “Maitreya” and the New World Religion. The threat is contained in several places in the Alice Bailey writings and reiterated in the David Spangler writings, which state that those of us who refuse to accept the “Christ” will be sent to another dimension other than physical incarnation, out of physical embodiment, to another level of vibration where we will be happier!

The threat is also repeated in the Agni Yoga (Nicholas Roerich) teachings, another cornerstone work of the “New Age.”

The Movement is profoundly antisemitic, all the way through to its esoteric core. Many lesser-level initiates in the Movement are unaware of the situation. The Movement’s theoreticians, including Spangler, also speak freely of the need to maintain Aryan purity — which was Hitler’s justification for exterminating the Jews.

Despite their current talk of need for “religious freedom” from the “persecutions.” of the Moral Majority, the Movement advocates just the opposite. Its views are reiterated frequently by prominent New Age spokesmen such as Gregory Bateson, David Spangler, and Foster Bailey (Bateson and Bailey are now both deceased): that religious freedom and the separation between Church and State must end in the New Age.

Buckmirister Fuller has also incorporated such teachings into his “design science” proposals for the “New Age.”

The Movement has campaigned long and arduously for disarmament. This is considered a key step to the implementation of their hoped-for “New World Order.”

“9. In the preparatory period for the new world order there will be a steady and regulated disarmament. It will not be optional. No nation will be permitted to produce and organise any equipment for destructive purposes or to infringe the security of any other nation. One of the first tasks of any future peace conference will be to regulate this matter and gradually see to the disarming of the nations. ” JS

How sincere they are about a nuclear-free world, however, is unfortunately well-demonstrated within the pages of the very same Alice Bailey book:

“The atomic bomb (though used only twice destructively) ended the resistance of the powers of evil because its potency is predominantly etheric. Its uses are twofold at this time:

“a. As the forerunner of that release of energy which will change the mode of human living and inaugurate the new age wherein we shall not have civilisations and their emerging cultures but a world culture and an emerging civilisation, thus demonstrating the true synthesis which underlies humanity. The atomic bomb emerged from a first ray Ashram [will-to-good, Shamballa (force, violence) energies], working in conjunction with a fifth ray group [scientific workers]; from the long-range point of view, its intent was and is purely beneficent.

“b. As a means in the hands of the United Nations to enforce the outer forms of peace, and thus give time for teaching on peace and on the growth of goodwill to take effect. The atomic bomb does not belong to the three nations who perfected it and who own the secrets at present — the United States of America, Great Britain and Canada. It belongs to the United Nations for use (or let us rather hope, simply for threatened use when aggressive action on the part of any nation rears its ugly head). It does not essentially matter whether that aggression is the gesture of any particular nation or group of nations or whether it is generated by the

political groups of any powerful religious organisation, such as the Church of Rome, who are as yet unable to leave politics alone and attend to the business for which all religions are responsible — leading human beings closer to the God of Love.” 26
